Camera Corps Announces MeerCat Mini HD Cam

News Image
Camera Corps has announced a new addition to its range of speciality cameras; the MeerCat Miniature HD.

Developed by the company in response to demand from sports, reality-television and stage-show producers, the MeerCat is housed in a metal case with a footprint of 30 x 30 mm and only 93 mm in height. Lens protrusion is 25 mm and high quality NF-mount lenses are available.
The head can be attached to a quarter-inch mount for integration into narrow-profile locations such as a sports markers, rugby try-line posts or reality-show props. It can also be used as a wearable camera with a full HD live wireless link. Full control facilities including manual iris setting with adjustable electronic exposure can be performed remotely using Camera Corps' joysticks and remote panels.
"The MeerCat has been trialed with outstanding success during a series of major international sports events prior to its official launch," says Camera Corps' Business Development Director, Shaun Glanville. "It is based on a new imager which delivers video with very wide dynamic range, low noise and excellent color rendition."
The imager is a third-inch MOS sensor with 1944 x 1092 effective pixels. This can be switched to deliver 1080p, 1080i or 720p video at 50, 59.94 or 60 hertz frame rate. Video is output as HD-SDI which can be converted to an optical feed using a Camera Corps optical fiber interface. Minimum illumination is 1.2 lux at f/1.4. Chroma, master black, saturation, gain, shutter, detail, white balance, gamma, speed and exposure, video format and noise reduction can all be adjusted from the remote control panel.
The MeerCat comes with a standard Camera Corps power supply and interface, which can be positioned up to 30 metres from the camera head. Control signals can be delivered over a standard audio line, allowing the interface to be located an essentially unlimited distance from the operator. Up to six MeerCat cameras can be operated from a single Camera Corps remote control panel.
The Camera Corps MeerCat is available now for rental or purchase.
